Barangay Governance Performance Management System

BGPMS is an assessment tool for barangays that measures the effective delivery of services and accomplishments in the performance of their function as mandated in the 1991 Local Government Code and other related issuances. BGPMS provides a clear picture of the performance and productivity level of barangays in the areas of Governance, Administration, Social Services, Economic Development and Environmental Management.

The said measurement/evaluation instrument will identify and determine the presence and absence of: (a) barangay compliance to laws and presidential directives; (b) facilities and equipment; (c) managerial and administrative capacities of barangay officials; and (d) programs and project being implemented and thereby also reflecting the barangays’ capacity and limitations in the five (5) performance areas. It shall also serve as guide for the higher local government units, the national government and other service providers to determine the kind of policy and program intervention the barangay needs.

Finally, BGPMS encourages the barangay to improve its performance and productivity, thus, leading to a better quality of life for its residents.
